There is a picture on Facebook that says to be the stickers coming off at BN. It's very good photoshopping if its a wind up...

Think i've seen the same one as you. It's definitely coming off! (at last).

I've also just seen that image, however it is only of the carriages. Obviously they will need to be split up and put into other sets now.
What I think is happening is they are stripping the carriages, but the Class 91 and DVT will remain in Skyfall livery until August where they will then receive a special nameplate. The carriages do need to be moved around and the Skyfall 91 and DVT will end up like the Flying Scotsman 91 and DVT where they end up on any set.

Oh and here's the image:

I saw the stock and DVT at Edinburgh yesterday. It worked the 17:30 to Kings Cross.

The loco was not on the train. It was the one named West Riding Limited instead.

It's pretty rare for the mark 4 carriages to be swapped between sets - The formations are generally fixed. It's also quite uncommon (Although not totally unheard of) for the DVTs to be swapped between different mark 4 rakes: It's mainly the 91s that do the moving around between sets due to their different maintenance regime to the hauled stock.

I wonder if kepeing the branded loco on the branded stock messed about with the maintenace schedules. Perhaps that is why the loco has come off. It might be in for an exam or some repair work.

I would think that that is quite likely. I think that East Coast actually did quite well in keeping the matching loco with the correct carriage rake for as long as they have done, given how often the 91s typically seem to be rotated between sets.

Will the buffet car keep it's 007 branded counter do you know?

Looks like the vinyl has taken a bit of the orange cantrail stripe off with it... top right.

 

[SprinterMan]

Have the loco and DVT also been done?

the 91 and dvt will remain in skyfall livery just like the flying scotsman set where you never see them together

So it's entirely possible that we have a Bond themed Flying Scotsman... this is going to get interesting!

The Skyfall livery has been removed from the coaching stock.

I believe the DVT and 91 are still in Bounds Green for maintenance however.
